Every detail of this Edwardian residence has been masterfully reimagined, resulting from a collaboration between architect Richard Beel, Eckersley Garden Architecture and TURN Group construction. “Keeping the home single-level amplifies its sense of scale, with soaring ceilings, white bagged-brick walls and French oak chevron flooring creating a refined aesthetic,” the agent says. “Skylights bathe the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area in natural light.”

Once part of Peter Brock’s HDT workshop, this historic warehouse is now a striking three-storey residence, illuminated by a central glass elevator shaft. “The vast top-floor living domain captures northerly light and horizon views, while the dining space hosts grand gatherings over a table crafted from the warehouse’s original trusses,” says the agent. “A chef’s kitchen and rooftop entertainer’s terrace complete the scene, perfect for sunset soirees.”

42 Pratt Avenue, Frankston South
Mid-century magic meets modern refinement in this architect-designed home, where a glass-wrapped breezeway connects two pavilions. “Floating terrazzo steps set the tone, leading to a sleek kitchen by Billy Innes Design,” says the agent. “Exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glazing define the living zone, while era-specific landscaping by Lucy Bennett frames the home’s impeccable layout.”
